Provided are a re-using e-commerce payment instruments for in-store purchasing systems and methods. A customer enters a check out and a transaction at the point of sale is started. The system receives a pairing request at a wallet processor from a customer mobile device operating a mobile application. This pairing request is created and sent in response to scanning of a code having a transaction identification. The system associates a customer payment profile with the transaction identification and sends associated information to the point of sale. The point of sale sends an amount of sale to authorize to the wallet processor after completing scanning of items. The system creates an authorization for payment and sending the authorization for payment to an authorizer. The transaction may then be completed by processing payment.

Re-using payment instruments for in-store use systems and methods

A technique for remote access via a computing device is discussed. In one embodiment, a computing device receives data indicative of a card number associated with a bank-issued debit card. The debit card is associated with a bank account at a bank that issued the bank-issued debit card. The computing device also receives data indicative of an amount of cash to be deposited into the account based on an amount of cash provided at the computing device location. Encrypted data indicative of the card number and the data indicative of the amount of cash is routed to a gateway vendor server and is further routed to a payment network server for deposit of an amount corresponding to the data indicative of the amount of cash into the bank account associated with the card number.

System and method for remote access

Provided are check-in to checkout systems and methods. The system includes a point of sale, a display, a mobile device, and a backend system. When the POS starts a transaction, such as, but not limited to scanning an item, the POS generates a transaction/basket identification. In response to starting the transaction, the POS sends the transaction/basket ID to the display in the form of a QR code or one-dimensional barcode. The mobile device operating a mobile application scans and captures the displayed code and reports to the backend systems. The backend systems then send a check-in event, which includes gathered data by the backend systems, to the POS and the POS acknowledges receipt of the message. At this point, a notification may be sent to the mobile application that the check-in was successful and a link is established for flow of information.

Check-in to checkout systems and methods

Techniques for electronic device access are discussed. In one embodiment, data indicative of a card number associated with a bank-issued debit card is received at a computing device. The debit card is associated with a bank account at a bank that issued the bank-issued debit card. The computing device also receives data related to a check to be deposited into the bank account and routes encrypted data indicative of the card number and the data associated with the check to a gateway vendor server from where it is further routed to a payment network server for deposit of an amount indicated by the data associated with the check into the bank account associated with the card number.

Re-using e-commerce payment instruments for in-store use systems and methods

A refund processing system and method for automatically processing refunds to a mobile payment account of a customer is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving sales transaction information from a transaction records database, in response to a request from a point of sale device when a refund for an item is initiated, transmitting the sales transaction information to calculate an amount of funds to be refunded to a payment instrument, detecting that the payment instrument is not valid while attempting to apply the refund, and determining whether an electronic gift card is currently associated with the mobile payment account of the customer, and if so, applying the refund to the electronic gift card, and if not, creating a new electronic gift card and applying the amount of funds to the new electronic gift card.
